    Fantastic set up, beautiful photo, and great report, Jim. I'm the opposite: the higher I've got my adjustable set, the more focused I find I need to be. You've got your technique down fairly well, though--I need to dial my technique rather than the razor :happy102:

    AWESOME! It's amazing what you can do with kit that works properly ;)

    Fantastic set up, shave, and report. So glad that Rex is doing what it's supposed to do, now--although it does make it harder to pare down your collection :happy102:

    I've had beautiful shaves over the last week or so, decided to bin the supermax blue diamond after 15 shaves, and start using some of my old feathers so that i can get cracking on the new 100 pack my good friend Steven Lim sent to me.

    The first shave was BBS with two passes in the fatip piccolo V1 which is often my go to razor for the first use of super sharp blades. Although its my most agressive razor, its the one i know the best, so 0 nicks or cuts whatsoever. Shave 2-3 and probably the rest of this blades lifespan will be with the Wilkinson sword TTO which is my only mint TTO since its the only one i got brand new. What an absolutely fantastic razor for the price. I'll get around to re posting my review on it from last year.

    Fantastic performance from the Credance, definitely one of my best performing soaps, and it definitely has the strongest scent out of all my soaps hands down.

    Shave number 2 was my first face lather with anything besides a shave stick with the omega 49 as well as my 2020 birthday shave, and the omega performed wonderfully.

    The rest of the month up until the 15th of march will be bundubeard appreciation month, definitely in my top two soaps and it will definitely become my most used soap in the future since it is a locally made product.

    Shave 1:
    Razor- fatip piccolo
    Blade- feather hi-stainless(1)
    Brush- Wilkinson sword classic shave
    Soap- Credance, grooming dept
    Aftershave- ambassador for men

    Shave 2:
    Razor- Wilkinson sword classic TTO
    Blade- feather hi-stainless (2)
    Brush Omega 49
    Soap: bundubeard coffee
    Aftershave- Revlon pub

    Shave 3:
    Razor- Wilkinson sword classic TTO
    Blade-feather hi-stainless (3)
    Brush- omega 49
    Soap- Arko shave stick
    Aftershave- Revlon pub[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Thank you, Clint! Although I don't use it often, it is one of my top tier straights. It is over 100 yrs old and still is a great shaver!
